Miriam and RJ were married at the Carnegie Institution for Science a few weeks ago, surrounded by some of the sweetest family I have ever met. And they played Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” without even a hint of irony, which, if you ask me, speaks a lot to how ridiculously genuine they are. Their brunch wedding in the beautiful rotunda was about the most relaxed it is possible for a wedding to be, with plenty of smiles to spare.

Liz and Ashwin, with the help of their brilliant planners A. Dominick Events, threw the prettiest, most atmospheric wedding I have had the opportunity to document. They and their families infused the day with warmth and laughter, while honoring both Hindu and Jewish traditions. The National Museum for Women in the Arts provided a truly spectacular setting for quite a day.

Tara and Dustin go with the flow, and I love them for it. See I planned a lovely indoor, heated greenhouse session with just a tad of happy-couple-in-front-of-the-Capitol images. But when we showed up at the Botanical Gardens, it was absolutely packed to the gills with tourists… and so we had to improvise. Lucky for me, Tara and Dustin are extremely chill people, game for anything, so we just hung around the Mall and I showed them all my little secret spots and anything else we found along the way. The National Mall is a really cool place.
